Preparation and fluorescence spectroscopy of bulk monoclinic Eu3+:Y2O3 and comparison to Eu3+:Y2O3 nanocrystals
Article Abstract:
The bulk monoclinic Eu3+:Y2O3 was prepared by high-temperature, high-pressure synthesis and characterized by laser spectroscopy. The results showed that the bulk monoclinic phase has sharp spectral lines and lacks the line broadening and "secondary" phase of Eu3+:Y2O3 nanocrystals. These optical properties were attributed to the intrinsic features of the monoclinic phase of Eu3+:Y2O3 and not as a result of surface effects in the nanocrystals. In addition, the 5Do fluorescen lifetimes were found to be longer in the nanocrystals than in the bulk monoclinic.

Fundamental global model for the structures and energetics of nanocrystalline ionic solids
Article Abstract:
A general analytical theory for the structures and energetics of nanocrystalline ionic solids is presented and the aim is not only to present a comprehensive mathematical formulation but also to provide physical insights into the resulting predictions. It introduces the electrostatic interactions between the ions treated as point charges and the short-range repulsions between the closest ion neighbors with the latter terms written in the Born form Ar(super -n).

Predicting the energetics, phase stability, and morphology evolution of faceted and spherical anatase nanocrystals
Article Abstract:
Predictions of the transition enthalpy of nanocrystalline and rutile is presented using a thermodynamic model as a function of shape, size, and degree of surface pasivation. This showed that thermochemical results can differ for various faceted or spherical nanoparticles.
